5307 McKinley St

This light-filled, renovated, and expanded five bedroom less than a mile from the Metro offers everything people search for close to downtown Bethesda. Driving down picturesque McKinley Street, the pride of homeownership is apparent in every yard. 5307 sits above the street framed in flowering trees and plants on an 8200 sq ft lot. Entering the home through the main front door, the  attention to detail cannot be missed. To the right is a welcoming living room with a gas fireplace and gorgeous oak hardwood floors that adorn the entire first and second floors of this home. Behind the living room is a bedroom currently used as a wonderful office with built-ins and a full bathroom. The remodeled and expanded large table-space kitchen includes skylights, stone counters, new and newer stainless steel appliances, and wood cabinets. The kitchen opens to an elegant dining room, the outdoor patio, and a family room addition which boasts an additional fireplace and even more built-in shelving. There is an additional front entrance to the home which leads directly to an extremely large mudroom with cabinets and plenty of storage solutions for coats, shoes, sports equipment and more. There is also an additional refrigerator in this space.

On the second floor are four large bedrooms and two full baths. The owner's suite is big enough to accommodate a king-sized bed. It includes an incredible addition with a walk-in closet and extremely spacious full bath, which includes a separate tub and shower. The three additional bedrooms on this level are all large enough to fit a queen-sized bed. There is also one more updated bathroom. Continuing to the third floor, you’ll find a fantastic sun-filled loft with a lounge/office area with skylights and a playroom with a mural. 

The lower level offers a recreation room with space for toys, gym equipment, and shelves for books. The basement also includes the laundry room, another powder room, and plenty of storage space. 

The expansive backyard is truly the piece de resistance of this home. In addition to the large deck along the back of the home, there is a wide-open, lush green yard surrounded by azaleas, roses, flowering trees and stunning plantings. In addition to the yard, which is large enough to play sports, there is a swing set and a large storage shed.

All of this is found in a beautiful Glenwood, walking distance to both Bethesda and NIH Metro stations, Greenwich Neighborhood Park, Call Your Mother Bagel Trolley, and Woodmont Triangle. The home is in-boundary for Bethesda Elementary, Westland Middle School, and Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School. This one of a kind gem is not to be missed.
